Hi, I’m trying to make a call with ng-href=“tel: {{55512345}}” and also mailto: [receipt@mail.com](mailto:receipt@mail.com)  
It works fine on iPhone but not Android.  
What could be the issue?

Code:  
HTML:  
div class=“list”\>  
a class=“item item-icon-left” ng-href=“tel: {{55512345}}”\>  
i class=“icon ion-ios-telephone”\>  
555-12345  
/a\>  
a class=“item item-icon-left” ng-href=“mailto: [receipt@mail.com](mailto:receipt@mail.com)”\>  
i class=“icon ion-android-mail”\>  
sendmail  
/a\>

Config.xml:  
access origin="_"/\>  
access origin="tel:_" launch-external=“yes” /\>  
access origin=“mailto:_" launch-external=“yes” /\>  
allow-intent href="mailto:_” /\>  
allow-intent href=“tel:\*” /\>  
plugin name=“cordova-plugin-whitelist” spec="^1.0.0"/\>

add this in your config.xml

```
 <platform name="android">
           <allow-intent href="market:*" launch-external="yes"/>
             <allow-intent href="tel:*" launch-external="yes"/>
             <allow-intent href="mailto:*" launch-external="yes"/>
         </platform>
```
